The 51-year-old was found guilty at the High Court of Glasgow in February.

Iain Packer has dropped plans to appeal against his conviction for the murder of Emma Caldwell in remote woods 19 years ago.

He was given a life sentence and ordered to serve a minimum of 36 years before he will be considered for parole. However, Strathclyde Police pursued four innocent Turkish men for the murder in a botched investigation which cost £4 million. The Scottish government has ordered a public inquiry into what went wrong with the original investigation.
